Pretty confident you’re wearing rose tinted glasses. They had very few ads in the beginning. you could get through multiple episodes without getting them but they definitely existed. Maybe you had an ad blocker? I literally can’t find any evidence it was ever both and I was using it within the first few months of it’s public release

I’m pretty sure it was never free and without ads. There were much fewer and even sometimes would have really quick “thanks for watching now get back to the show” ads but ad free has always been paid

Lmao yes, telling you to feel bad for non tech workers in the bay area makes me libertarian

Yeah I don’t get it. You can also work for established companies where you get steady income instead of volatile stocks but you’re not going to be able to retire super early with a work life balance that way

might

Yeah it’s risky. People do it multiple times though and one success pays out. It’s a risky choice that I wouldn’t make but I understand why people do

That’s startup life. Dude might be rolling in it in a couple years and it’s a decision. Feel bad for the non tech workers around the bay

Ok but 1 person can often review at least 2 people’s worth of work and that’s still half the workforce. Why would we only care in your hyperbolic example of 30x reduction and not 2x reduction?

What’s with this trend of taking a common joke or statement and just imposing over a random person’s photo? They seem completely extraneous. There’s been a bunch like this, is it some TikTok trend or something?
